Laura’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I can also do a cat or elephant one if needed"

Let's do it.

Looks like Tammie is up for a Poirot!

Ugh. My Enola Holmes book is 119 words short of the cutoff! Let me check the next one in the series.

The next one works. And my library has the audio. I'll be able to listen before I go to sleep tonight.

I can read Magic Claims.

Or does someone want to read one of Christie's Poirot novels so Lory can read one of the newer ones?

I can do a librarian book, but I'll wait and see what other people have.

Tammie, Ilona posted on Facebook that they are doing an combo audio with the first 2 Wilmington books. Audible is showing pre-order for 7/10.

I got an Enola Holmes from the library. Let's do Sherlock, Keely!

New Tasks

Tower Teams 1: The Original
Read two pairs of books where the second is a spin-off from the first. This could be a secondary series by the same or different author (e.g. Sherlock Holmes original and Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russell), a continuation of a series by another author (e.g. Poirot by Agatha Christie and Sophie Hannah) or a retelling (e.g The Great Gatsby and The Chosen and the Beautiful)
It is NOT two books from the same series


We have as possibles on the spreadsheet:

Lory - Magic Strikes
Tammie - Magic Claims
Laura - Oz
Laura - Oz (other author)

Tammie is getting ready to go on vacation. Anyone else want to read Magic Claims? Or have another idea? I can read Magic Claims, but I don't want to be a task hog.

Another option is I can listen to an Enola Holmes or read a Charlotte Holmes if someone wants to read a Sherlock Holmes. (This would be in place of the offered Oz books.)

Benita, Effie still needs a read date. Thanks!"

It's good now!

But I need you to put Valentine, Texas on your Tower shelf. :)

I think Elves and Cats should be easy.

I'm not familiar with Discworld. Do we need an actual orangutang, or would a human librarian work?

I'll get another spin for us!

We've got a new set of tasks!

Benita, Effie still needs a read date. Thanks!

I think it has to be a character. If no one has anything when I’m done with my 2 books, I have the second book in the Croak series, Scorch.

Hey Team Ti! Our June numbers are completely updated! Captains have 24 hours to get everything up-to-date for the end of the month, so some numbers for some teams might not be fully updated yet, but as of right now we are still in FIRST PLACE!

@Benita - can you add a read date to Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder and to Effie, please? Thanks!

@Benita - yesterday's books all look fixed on my end. For today:

The Goldfish Bowl - please add to your Tower shelf.

Oh no! I hope you're pain level is being managed okay! Hoping for a quick recovery for you.

I haven’t finished yet, but two of my kids who were in the car with me when I started listening just finished. I am thoroughly being yelled at for starting them on a series that isn’t complete. And I guess the very last sentence is shocking? Enough to make you yell at your mother. 😂

No worries. We have lots of spaces to put all our books into mini-challenges. Enjoy your books, for sure!
